We're pretty stoked about this. Regards, mosquitos

I stubbed my toe and drank coffee with a bird this morning. Next at 10 I'm taking a nap.

This is what's known as a slow news day.

[Valeriazane]

they are not guests..they are participants

[donaldindividual-]

Last few years they were complaining about the endless dust storms, not anymore!

[dwydcml]

All's fun and games until the dysentery hits.

[Ms.Robot.]

The rain and the mud is where the fun really begins. It's nature's way of bringing the event to life.

[sssbattleaxe]

The situation is critical as they're running out of drugs

[redjetsen]

What is the difference between Burning man and the Homeless camps of SF?
The quality of the drugs

[smiley]

Idiots knew it was like that before they left

[marcofenix]

Hahahahahaha... MORE RAIN PLIZZZZ.. hahahahaha...

[rpe]

LMAO he called people who go to burning man "veterans" 😂

[johnsheetz]

I couldn't imagine being on the all the drugs, and getting instructions.

[robertcornelius]

It's okay. Alcoholics don't need much to eat.

[low_significance]

The only people "sticking it out" are the people "trapped". Lmfao😂 you literally showed everyone leaving that was able to get out....

[nonenone-llln]

the kinds of people who go to this type of event, i bet very few of them brought enough supplies for even 2 extra days.
based on my experience with northern nevada mud, pictures showing standing water, 3-4 days before it dries out enough to matter.
that is the thick mud that gives you 20 lb shoes and tires that are nothing but mud wrapped treadless blobs.
and if you dig a hole, you will need pulled out even when it is dry.

70, 000 thousand...one died? Normal.

[gratefuldoge]

They did the same thing at Woodstock, they flew planes releasing trails seeding the clouds, they wanted to flood them out.

[xUnpluggedx]

God: "Oh no! This place is on fire! Let me help!"

[ryelor]

ok, I thought the place was going to look like Elbonia but its obvious that its just a tiny bit of mud. Just goes to show that upper class people are sheltered.
